Hi Javier,
Patents normally last 20 years (if they are still in force), I wouldn't h=
old
your breath :-)
The Canon EOS / Leica Lens - autofocus confirm route (yes I know the lens=
is manual focus!) looks good 'stopgap' to me (most of the benefits only r=
eal
downside is having to stop the lens down before pressing the shutter). I
even think Leica might sell a few more lenses as a result!
Best regards
Keith
